This is “The Exoplanet Zoo,” one of two new exoplanet infographics from Slovak artist and space enthusiast Martin Vargic.
Martin Vargic, a space enthusiast, author, and graphic artist from Slovakia, has created two new infographic posters featuring nearly 1600 exoplanets of various types and sizes.

The posters are titled “Icy and Rocky Worlds” and “The Exoplanet Zoo.”
Vargic has had a lifelong passion for astronomy and space. At age 10, he used his family’s telescope to observe lunar craters, Jupiter’s moons, and Venus’s phases, despite living in areas with significant light pollution.

“With the help of scientific models and up-to-date information, this poster attempts to artistically visualize together over 1100 known exoplanets of all the different types we have discovered so far, arranged by the amount of heat they receive from their stars, comparing their relative sizes and providing a window to how they might look like,” Vargic explains on his website.
